The qBraid-SDK is a Python toolkit for cross-framework abstraction, transpilation, and execution of quantum programs.

• Unified quantum frontend interface. Transpile quantum circuits between supported packages. Leverage the capabilities of multiple frontends through simple, consistent protocols.
• Build once, target many. Create quantum programs using your preferred circuit-building package, and execute on any backend that interfaces with a supported frontend.
• Benchmark, compare, interpret results. Built-in compatible post-processing enables comparing results between runs and across backends.

For the best experience, install the qBraid-SDK environment on lab.qbraid.com. Login (or create an account) and follow the steps to install an environment.

Using the SDK on qBraid Lab means direct, pre-configured access to all Amazon Braket supported devices and IBM Quantum open systems with no additional access keys or API tokens required. See qBraid Quantum Jobs for more.

The qBraid-SDK, and all of its dependencies, can also be installed using pip:

pip install qbraid

If using locally, follow linked instructions to configure your qBraid, AWS, and IBMQ credentials.

qBraid documentation is available at docs.qbraid.com.

Construct a quantum program of any supported program type,

>>> from qbraid import QPROGRAM_LIBS
>>> QPROGRAM_LIBS
['braket', 'cirq', 'qiskit', 'pyquil', 'pytket', 'qasm']

and use the circuit_wrapper() to convert to any other supported program type:

>>> from qbraid import circuit_wrapper
>>> from qbraid.interface import random_circuit
>>> qiskit_circuit = random_circuit("qiskit")
>>> cirq_circuit = circuit_wrapper(qiskit_circuit).transpile("cirq")
>>> print(qiskit_circuit)
          ┌────────────┐
q_0: ──■──┤ Rx(3.0353) ├
     ┌─┴─┐└───┬────┬───┘
q_1: ┤ H ├────┤ √X ├────
     └───┘    └────┘
>>> print(cirq_circuit)
0: ───H───X^0.5────────
      │
1: ───@───Rx(0.966π)───

Search for quantum backend(s) on which to execute your program.

>>> from qbraid import get_devices
>>> get_devices()
Device status updated 0 minutes ago

Device ID                           Status
---------                           ------
aws_oqc_lucy                        ONLINE
aws_rigetti_aspen_m2                OFFLINE
aws_rigetti_aspen_m3                ONLINE
ibm_q_perth                         ONLINE
...

Apply the device_wrapper(), and send quantum jobs to any supported backend, from any supported program type:

>>> from qbraid import device_wrapper, get_jobs
>>> aws_device = device_wrapper("aws_oqc_lucy")
>>> ibm_device = device_wrapper("ibm_q_perth")
>>> aws_job = aws_device.run(qiskit_circuit, shots=1000)
>>> ibm_job = ibm_device.run(cirq_circuit, shots=1000)
>>> get_jobs()

Compare results in a consistent, unified format:

>>> aws_result = aws_job.result()
>>> ibm_result = ibm_job.result()
>>> aws_result.measurement_counts()
{'00': 483, '01': 14, '10': 486, '11': 17}
>>> ibm_result.measurement_counts()
{'00': 496, '01': 12, '10': 479, '11': 13}

To use the qBraid-SDK locally (outside of qBraid Lab), you must add your account credentials:

1. Create a qBraid account or log in to your existing account by visiting account.qbraid.com

2. Copy your API Key token from the left side of your account page:

3. Save your API key from step 2 by calling QbraidSession.save_config():

from qbraid.api import QbraidSession

session = QbraidSession(api_key='API_KEY')
session.save_config()

The command above stores your credentials locally in a configuration file ~/.qbraid/qbraidrc, where ~ corresponds to your home ($HOME) directory. Once saved, you can then connect to the qBraid API and leverage functions such as get_devices() and get_jobs().

Alternatively, the qBraid-SDK can discover credentials from environment variables:

export JUPYTERHUB_USER='USER_EMAIL'
export QBRAID_API_KEY='QBRAID_API_KEY'

Then instantiate the session without any arguments

from qbraid.api import QbraidSession

session = QbraidSession()

The "Launch on qBraid" button (below) can be added to any public GitHub repository. Clicking on it automaically opens qBraid Lab, and performs a git clone of the project repo into your account's home directory. Copy the code below, and replace YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-REPOSITORY with your GitHub info.
